Abstracts- The paper aims to explore and establish the unique and pernicious way in which violence operates against deviant and diasporic individuals in the postcolonial concext. Though selective analysis of scenes and character development in two German films from the New German Cinema, the paper links the deterioration of deviant and diasporic characters interact with and against their broader social, culcutural and physical environmental. Drawing on the problematic of normativity, subject-object social indentification, critiques of modern capitalistic culcure, and the paradoxical nature of life’s dual aims (life and death) as discursive tools, the paper suggests that social normativity in postcolonial environments performs a very physical and destructive violence on deviant and diasporic individuals eschew conformity either by choice or internet station.
